National Month of Shared Reading 


We would like to invite the school community to join the National Month of Shared Reading campaign, which will take place from September 8, 2022, on. Activities that take place under the motto ‘Let’s read together’ are the link between reading and movement. The organizers want to connect reading and exercise as much as possible, as both have a stimulating effect on the development and formation of a healthy lifestyle and skills, quality leisure time, the formation of a creative personality and a positive attitude towards reading and exercise. Their website also includes suggestions for various activities for schools, children, young people, families… Our students have already participated in one of their activities – Library under the treetops.  
For those of you who speak Slovenian, we recommend the following website, where you can find activities to encourage reading: https://druzina.pismen.si/

PYP Day of Internationalism

On Tuesday, 13 September, KG and PYP students had a day devoted to Internationalism. They began their collapsed day lessons by introducing their classmates to parts of their nationality and culture which they brought to school with them. Learning about other cultures – being open-minded, caring, principled, reflective, risk-taker, thinker, communicator … – was a great starting point to recognise, use and learn about learning profiles, which will continue to be an integral part of this school year.

Small Electrical Appliance Collection

Between 1st and 21st October we will be collecting small electrical appliances (functioning and not functioning ones). The project is called Life Spodbujamo e-krožno (Circular use of e-appliances) and it is connected to the 5th International day of e-waste  (14th October). It is aimed at raising awareness about the proper treatment and discarding of electrical appliances which have broken down and also reusing those which are still functioning. You will be able to deposit the electrical appliances in the designated containers.
 
The schools which are most active and collect the largest number of electrical appliances will be visited by a famous Slovene rapper, Challe Salle!

MYP Reading under the Treetops

During the month of September the MYP students were treated to a lesson dedicated to reading literature and prose, to be enjoyed amongst the tranquil surroundings of the green school playground, under the treetops. The cool temperature helped facilitate a relaxing, beneficial and cultural experience, in which the students later reflected upon by, through the context of learner profiles, writing their thoughts on paper leaves and flowers. Students (and parents), are encouraged to continue reading in an array of autumnal environments, as well as through all the seasons.
